A FINE GEORGE II GILT BRASS MOUNTED WALNUT TABLE/BRACKET CLOCK WITH PULL-QUARTER REPEAT ON SIX BELLSWILLIAM WEBSTER, LONDON, CIRCA 1730The six finned pillar twin fusee bell striking movement with generous plates measuring 7.875 by 6.125 inches, verge escapement regulated by short bob pendulum and pull-quarter repeat sounding on a graduated nest of six bells, the symmetrical foliate strapwork scroll engraved backplate with twin Ho-Ho birds flanking a basket of fruit towards the upper margin over central oval herringbone bordered reserve signed W'm Webster, Exchange Alley, London, the 7 inch gilt brass break-arch dial with curved false-bob and calendar apertures and applied shaped silvered plate signed W'm Webster Exchange, Alley London to the finely matted centre, within applied silvered Roman numeral chapter ring with fleur-de-lys half hour markers and Arabic five minutes beyond the outer minute track, with fine scroll-pierced steel hands and gilt Indian mask and scroll cast spandrels to angles beneath subsidiary Strike/Silent selection dial flanked by conforming mounts to arch, in a gilt brass mounted figured walnut inverted bell-top case with generous hinged cast gilt brass carrying handle over double cavetto top mouldings, the opening front with brass-fillet edged glazed dial aperture and fine foliate scroll engraved gilt brass upper quadrant frets set within conforming moulded surrounds, the sides with break-arch ended lozenge-shaped engraved gilt brass upper frets decorated with basket-of-flowers within scroll-pierced infill and gilt fillet surrounds, over conforming large break-arch frets incorporating scallop shells over Ho-Ho birds, grotesque masks and baskets of fruit, the rear with rectangular break-arch glazed door set within the frame of the case also incorporating brass fillet mouldings to the apertures and with scroll-pierced and engraved upper quadrant frets, on cavetto moulded skirt base with squab feet.44.5cm (17.5ins) high with handle down, 27.5cm (10.875ins) wide, 19cm (7.5ins) deep. William Webster senior is recorded in Baillie, G.H. Watchmakers & Clockmakers of the World as apprenticed to Thomas Tompion and gaining his Freedom from The Clockmakers' Company in 1710, he initially worked as journeyman to Tompion later setting up business in Exchange Alley, London in 1711. Four days after Tompion's death on 20 November 1713 Webster placed a newspaper advertisement stating that he had worked for Tompion and was now working on his own at the Dial and Three Crowns in Exchange Alley. William Webster was elected to the position of Junior Warden in the Clockmakers Company in 1734 but died during his year in office on 13 August 1735. William Webster junior was apprenticed to his father in 1727 gaining his Freedom in 1734, he was appointed Master of the Clockmakers' Company in 1755. He was a fine maker who very much maintained his father's standards in his work. The design of the repeat work utilised in the current clock can be compared to systems used in clocks by Daniel Delander, Simon DeCharmes, John Purden and John Pyke discussed in Dzik, Sunny BENEATH THE DIAL, English Clock Pull Repeat Striking 1675-1725 pages 445-454. The engraving to the backplate conforms to designs also discussed by Sunny Dzik in ENGRAVING ON ENGLISH TABLE CLOCKS, Art on a Canvas of Brass 1660-1800 pages 300-302. Dzik identifies common elements within the engraved backplates for a fairly diverse group of clockmakers including David Hubert, John Wady, Richard Ellis Joseph Windmills and others. These include the distinctive basket of fruit flanked by birds supported on a narrow shelf, small vertical trellis supports, frequent use of flowerheads to decorate the principal pivot holes and paired bird heads at the base. These common elements, coupled with strong stylistic traits within the compositions as a whole, would suggest the work of a common engraver.The case of the current lot is particularly notable both in the selection of the fine figured walnut veneers and the quality of the engraved gilt brass frets which are amongst the finest seen on clocks from this period.
